What do reviewers say about Shi and Ming Shu?
Here's the thing about Shi: it won't announce itself. No fireworks. No drama. Just clean, cool, almost-transparent calm. The aquatic opening is soft, the florals arrive without fanfare.Shi
Some fragrances shout. This one doesn't need to. Ming Shu floats, the aquatic-peach opening clears space for water lily and lotus to drift, and the woody drydown keeps it present without ever pushing.Ming Shu
